Players must show off their skill to stay in the race as they compete to finish a whole season in 125, 250/Moto2 or MotoGP class before running out of time. The realistic AI will emulate true racing pack with different riding styles and pace making this a challenging mode for all GP fans. Players can race in 125cc, 250cc/Moto2 and MotoGP championships from the 20 seasons as it unfolds. Career Mode has a limitless number of years allowing players to continue career mode indefinitely. As players start off at the 125cc they can upgrade their team into the 250cc/Moto2 series and then ultimately into the MotoGP series. The player's team will also research upgrades for an existing bike to increase its performance. The more rider reputation points players earn, the more attractive they become to other manufacturers, sponsors, and employees. Pushing too hard can be detrimental as collisions and crashes will reduce the reputation bonus at the end of each race. Demonstrating their riding skills on the track through overtaking, slip-streaming and showboating will be rewarded with Rider Reputation points.
Players take control of their career on and off of the track competing in races and hiring engineers, team managers and press officers to help further their career as a pro and ultimately win the MotoGP World Championship. MotoGP 09/10 features 4 modes with the first of them being Career Mode.
